That's what my gals and guys learn too when I give my maintenance class. A good service and cleaning is a lot of hard work. I usually have grease under my nails for days! The 301 I showed isn't the worst one I've done either. 2 of them have been peed on by cats or dogs and you don't know til the rag hits it, or your own animals are WAY too interested in the machine...
